Gov. Orr, upon the facts beingmade known through tho properchannel, has taken the necessary le?gal measures for tho delivery of theprisoners to the authorities of SouthCarolina, and the parties will be triedin Beaufort District, whero tho of?fences were alleged to have been com?mitted. It was one of the most bru?tal and diabolical outrages everrecorded in tho annals of crime.[Savannah Republican.TOOK THE PAPERS.-At the last elec?tion in Baltimore, among tho ques?tions put to the voters vai the fol?lowing: "Did you ever rejoico at adefeat of the Federal army?" AnIrishman, to whom tho question wasput, rer jd: "Shure an' I tuk thoBaltimo: Clipper, and niver knewthey wu1 Aeated. ' 'Political Significance of Worrie.Verbal terms very faithfully indi'? cati; political transitions. As soon asit became fashionable to call tho! United States a "nation," the worldj was not long in learning that thosewho used tho language had a stiug! ing consciousness that the wordj "Union" was no longer appropriate.?The; "lifo of the nation" became a?j favorite expression about the time II that there was a guilty sense of .a de- ?j stroyed Union, and Congress became ja "grand inquest" when it ceased toconfine itself to its legitimate and jconstitutional sphere. There is a jwondrous power in words, and their jemployment not only denotes pro?gressive changes in the thoughts and?habits of a people, but they aro fre?quently the forerunners of revolu?tionary projects and designa By jfixing popular attention upon this jcongregation of States as a "na-1tion," the public mind was prepared jfor those changes which are success- !ively engulphing all the attributes ofa republic, aud buildiug up consoli?dated despotism in its stead.It is safe to affirm that the massesat tho North who constitute thedominant party, know but littlo ofhistory. If they did, they would seothat despotism can be exercised bythe many as well as by one. Theyhave au idea that only kings, empe?rors, sultans and czars can be des?pots, and with this cardinal error intheir minds, they have sold them?selves, body and soul, to their Con?gress. The time is coming-nay, itis close at hand-when they will be?seech God to commit them to thetender mercy and conscience of anautocrat, so that the hundreds ofvultures now tearing them may heexchanged for an eagle.We, of tho South, claim to be alittle in advance of our Northernneighbors, of radical persuasion, inpolitical wisdom. We have beenthoroughly educated in the school ofadversity and suffering, and with allthe lights of the past and the warn?ing vigils of the. futura gleaming fear?fully athwart our pata, we wouldtake a czar or emperor to-day, soonerthan a Government administered bya Congress in which we are unrepre?sented-a Congress which takes newcourage from our helplessness, andbecomes more fierce, cruel and bitter,just in proportion as we become moreweak.Those of us who are not fools orknaves will readily admit what pre?sent events are inevitably drifting usto. The anarchy, misrule and chaosgrowing out of many despots, logi?cally and unavoidably drive the peo?ple to seek that security and protec?tion which will be found in the sternwill and iron heel of a single master.Those who first broke the dam andlet in the waters will be the. firstdrowned, and come what, may, thcman who shall grasp supreme po weiwill naturally commence by weedingout all small rivals and competitors.Does any one suppose that so hugeand unwieldy a body as Congress cailong keep or exercise the supremepowers which it is arrogating to itself? Does Congress itself think so'If so, a greater mistake than such 2supposition was never committedAs soon as Congress shall have eonsummated its plans of political absolutism, some mau in or outsido of iwill seize and hold all the powewhich he may very justly deem hihas as much right to as they haveAnd the facility with which he wi!accomplish his designs will demonstrate how easy it is for men to bCromwells or Napoleons, if they onl;have the nerve and select thc pronetime.If any ono believes that we. aro ;false prophet, let him see whethetime does not vindicate us.[ Riclimond Times.DECLINE IN PRICES.-The wholesale prices of the past week in ail thleading markets of the country, saythe Charleston Courier, show a considerable decline. There is a dedinin cotton and cotton fabrics, adeclinI in cattle and provisions, a decline iI sugars, a decline in wool, tallow! leather, naval stores, metals, bombi stock, Sec., &c. In the necessaries ci lifo it is inevitable that men in thretail trade must speedily reco'gnizthese declensions in price, and givconsumers some of the benefits, jis found that there has been over-prtduction in many things, especially' imanufactures-that is, production biyond the ability and disposition cthe people to consume ut tho bigprices asked, and in many cases thprotectionists have over-reached thenselves. The failure of a market ithe South has had its effect, too, oall dry goods, and thus thrift in thsection is shown to be a need for tlwhole country. It is found, alsithat breadstuff's and provisions aiplentiful in the country, and dealeimust realize that they are to be satitied with less than the exorbitaiprices of tho period of war. Tilarge stocks held in tho West on borowings at high rates of money, canot bo held much longer, as the ratof interest aro rising in the E?also.-? ?? ? ?A Southern Hospital Associatio1 for tlie i elief of disabled Confeden:soldiers, has been formed in New (leans.

T. Stewarttouching tho proper method for himto pursue in laying out tho milliondollars or more, which it is said heintends to uso for the purpose oferecting model dwellings for the poorof this city. No doubt Mr. Stewartis very much obliged to his advisers,and will duly weigh all tho sugges?tions they offer, and adopt them if ofany value. The article we give thismorning from the London Pall MallGazette, is, however, of far more prac?tical use to him, as it summarizes inan understandable form the results !of tho model lodging-houso move- !mont in London. After all one has jheard and read of thoso English Cn- jterprises, it is somewhat dishearten- jing to find that barely seven thou- jsand people are benefitted by them, jand of these only a few hundred be- Ilong to the very poor laboring class, jIt is the better sort of artizans who, 1after all, inhabit these model lodging- !(louses, and they.nre- not a class who, Iunder ordinary circumstances, would jlive poorly or who need charity.If such aro the meagro results ofthe enormous sums of money spentin England to provide decent homesfor tho poor, it at once becomes aquestion whether it is an evil that canbo reached by private benevolence,however munificent. Thc stubbornfact remains, as the Pall Mall Gazellepoints out, that it pays better to buildfever-breeding tenement houses thanwell-drained and ventilated, whole?some dwellings; and so long as thatis tho case, it is simply fightingagainst human nature and the laws oftrade to try and rectify the matter byprivate enterprise. Thc foulest courtsin London pay fifteen and twenty perrent, on tho . investment of money,while, the most profitable of themodel lodg'ng-houses do well if theyreturn six per cent. The same istrue in this city. Some, tenementhouse property, and the very worst atthat, pays as high as thirty and fortyper cent., while tho average returnfrom good houses in good localities israrely more than ten per cent.FROM MEXICO.-A despatch to thcWorld, of the 21st instant, says:Maximilian has not sailed, nor is itlikely he will sail soon, as the Frenchwould not allow him to leave until hesigns a formal abdication.A little indiscretion of the com?mander of the Austrian frigate Dondalo has been the cause of this.When Maximilian left Mexico,Gen. Bazaine thought that he cameto Orizaba merely on a little excur?sion, as he had gono to Cuernavacaand other places.Day before yesterday, tho com?mander of the Dondalo received atmidnight a despatch from Maxi?milian, ordering him to have his fri?gate ready yesterday, at 5 o'clock p.m., at which time Maximilian ex?pected to be here, and wanted to sailafc once. As spon as tho.Austriancommander received this despatch,he called on M. Pey ron, tho Frenchcommander, to take leave of him.Ho showed tho despatch he had re?ceived, and asked orders for Trieste.M. Peyron sent at once this informa?tion to Gen. Bazaine, who despatchedinstructions by telegraph to theFrench commanders at Orizaba, Cor?dova and Yera Cruz, not to allowMaximilian to escspe, and addressedhimself to the Arch-duke, statingthat he knew his plan to lly fromMexico, but that he could not be per?mitted to do so, unless he would for?mally abdicate. The reason of thisconduct is, that should Maximilianleave without a formal abdication,the position of the French would Vievery difficult and ridiculous, while, ifhe abdicates in their favor, they willbe released from their engagementstoward him. It is said that Maxi?milian will be obliged to return to thecity of Mexico and submit to Ba*zaine's terms.AN INTERESTING SCRAP OF CONFEDE?RATE HISTORY.-Admiral Semmcs, inreviewing in his paper, the MobileGazette, Mr. E.
